It was already unexpected when John McEnroe asked Rafael Nadal to take his shirt off after the quarter-finals. But Mac went the full monty after the semis.
John McEnroe: I’m going to make some people jealous here, I’ve got to be honest at the end of the second set I had to take a quick bathroom break. I was finishing taking this very quick bathroom break when all of a sudden I started to walk out and I saw a naked Rafael Nadal in the bathroom.
Rafa Nadal: What was your impression?
John McEnroe: I thought to myself that looks a lot like my body. No. Absolutely lying about that. I said to myself I wish I had a body like that.

As a true Aussie would say “fair dinkum” good on you Rafa show McEnroe what’s it like to be polite
Has McEnroe lost the plot??? why on earth does he persist in embarrassing himself with these ridiculous personal questions. Just making himself look stupid. Well done Rafa on keeping your dignity and well done on your absolutely fantastic win. Superb play and superb manners xxx
Yeah I totally agree. A bit of cheekiness in an interview is to be expected, but he’s been so obsessed with Rafa’s body this tournament. I guess they think Rafa can take it, as he’s so chilled. But it’s a bit much, imo.
So happy to see our Champ Rafa playing so well making Stefanos so frustrated.Keep it up Rafa.Sending you lots of luck, good vibes,prayers and of course lots of love until you raise the Championship trophy.GOD bless you.Vamos!

Too much info, Johnny Mac😱Rafael Nadal, you handled this weird interview like a champ! You can
manoeuvre those questions off court as well as you outclassed your opponents across the net. What a mesmerizing win-you took us to another dimension🤩🚀and we are out of our heads🤯
Johnny Mac is so funny 😀😜 and nice to see Rafa taking it all in his stride!
I think McEnroe needs to learn to control himself 🙂 . He really made me laugh, though!
Super super happy for you, Rafa. Excited to see you in the finals. You are my champ.
Love you always. Rafa. 💙💖💖💖💖💟💟💜💛💚💛💜💟💖💙
Wow! Rafa, didn’t think you could improve on perfection but you are the exception to the rule, great match, now go and put the joker back in the pack and show him you are the ace
Well said Maria (E)! 👍🏼😂😂😂
